A black comedy. WW2 has been over nearly 35 years and the men who serviced the planes flown by the Kamikaze suicide pilots are now well into comfortable middle age. Some have prospered, others not, but all are gathered for their annual dinner to remember dead colleagues. But as the saki flows, things get out of hand...... Recommended listening.

The trial for witchcraft in 1712 is generally regarded as the last witch trial in England, though Wikipedia states that a woman and her daughter were hanged in 1716, and there was a famous trial brought in WW2 under the Witchcraft Act. This play looks at the events around the 1712 trial.

Originally broadvast as 6 x 30 min episodes, the BBC have at some time re-broadcast this as 4 x 45 min episodes. A dramatisation of Shute's romantic novel, set during WW2 in Malaya, and then after the war in London and Australia. Not, in my opinion, one of Shute's finest.

They Made Us Laugh' was a 15 part ABC Radio series produced in Brisbane in 1988. 'The Overseas Connection' centres on the Australian funny men who left home after WW2 to have a shot at what was then the big time, the BBC. Some came back to Australia and worked on ABC and commercial stations -- others stayed in Britain forging stellar careers during the 'Golden Age' of radio comedy. Voices in 'They Made Us Laugh' include those of Dick Bentley and Spike Milligan.

Dramatisation of Roald Dahl's autobiographic account of his childhood in South Wales with his one armed Norwegian father - the story of how he lost his arm is so crazy it must be true - and the rest of his family. Dahl is an interesting writer and this dramatisation fully brings out the humour of his work. See also Going Solo , his account of his life in East Africa and the RAF in WW2.

The Southern Atlantic, 10 November 1941: U-boat 395 has been patiently waiting for a month to torpedo a British cargo ship, the Southern Pearl, due out of Rio de Janeiro. Things do not go according to plan and eventually the U-395 undertakes an epic journey of 2,500 miles, towing six lifeboats to the safety of Brest. Although a work of fiction, it is based upon a true story from WW2, itself the longest rescue operation in naval history.

He is caught, tortured and left for dead, but escapes back to England. His adversaries discover that he is still alive and pursue him, forcing him to take to ground. How will he regain his freedom?

RADIO ANARCHISTS In his look at comedians who pioneered the use of radio as a medium for subversive, spontaneous comedy, Ned Sherrin examines the career of Coyle and Sharpe. Wandering the streets with a concealed microphone for a San Francisco radio station in the early 1960s, Mal Sharpe and Jim Coyle revealed the ability of radio to spread confusion, puncture civic pomposity, and expose public ignorance-as well as to entertain in a way which had hardly been attempted before. Their style went a...

'Albert Speer's Walk Around the World' takes us on the imaginary journeys Speer devised to engage his mind and keep him from despair. A sympathetic American guard orders him travel books from the library and he plots his routes methodically. But he can't escape from the demons of guilt about Nazi war crimes. Sometimes the scenes he witnesses on his trips are exhilarating; sometimes the people are seductive but sometimes he is glad to be disturbed by the prison guard yelling for him to get back...
